Insomnia, Low Mood, Anxiety, Depression. These can wreak havoc in your life, shutting out people you love, losing control, feeling hopeless and isolating from social situations. The therapeutic journey can open up options, provide reassurance and hope.

Welcome to my counselling page.  I am an Integrative Counsellor which means I will adapt the counselling sessions to help solve your problems in the way that works best for you.  I currently have availability working with clients by telephone.  

I offer flexible working hours to facilitate the commitments of clients.    The number of sessions will be dependent on the issues to work through. We can discuss your individual needs prior to commencement of counselling sessions.  

Please feel free to email me if you would like further information regarding my Counselling Practice.

I am a fully Accredited BACP Counsellor in the UK with over 8 years of professional work experience working in mental health, bereavement and stress-related situations. I have vast experience in helping clients from all backgrounds with trauma, bereavement, sleeping disorders, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, low mood and depression. I have the ability to emphasise with individuals whilst retaining an objective and realistic approach to counselling.

I also hold qualifications in Mindfulness and Nutrition providing a non-judgemental, holistic approach focussing on both your mental and physical health.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Together we will build a strong therapeutic relationship where there is trust. respect, understanding and complete confidentiality at all times.

I use various techniques, tailoring sessions to best meet individual needs. I enjoy working with solution-focused therapy with a future-orientated goal approach to solving problems. We focus on your strengths, exploring hopes for the outcome of therapy and on building a tool kit of skills, resources and coping abilities with the aim of reaching goals and encouraging the belief that positive change is always possible.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

My practice is via telephone counselling.  This offers clients greater flexibility for their sessions especially in today's world where we seem to juggle numerous tasks and time is both limited and precious.

Frequency and duration of counselling

The duration of the therapeutic process will depend on the type of difficulty or problem you are facing. Some people prefer to work with an open contract, whereas other people prefer to work with a fixed number of sessions followed by a review. In all cases, every six sessions we will review the therapeutic process together. This helps to assess whether your needs are being met and, this will also help (if required) to carry out the necessary adjustments and/or establish new goals for the process.

Confidentiality

This is a very important aspect of the counselling relationship. Everything that is discussed in the counselling session is kept in the strictest confidence. If there is convincing evidence that you intend to harm yourself or others, I may need to break confidentiality by informing your doctor, or in serious cases the police, again this would ideally only take place with your prior knowledge. 

Your counselling sessions should be held where you are in a safe place and cannot be overheard by others.  

I offer a professional, confidential and non-judgemental approach with all my clients.  I use a combination of therapies to meet your individual needs always working at your pace building a trusting safe therapeutic relationship where you feel fully supported in working towards positive change.

I offer all my clients an initial free call following your enquiry about therapy.  This is more of an introduction and to ensure that you are comfortable with the process before we commence sessions.

Our first session will involve an assessment of your individual needs. We will establish together your hopes for the outcome of therapy.  We can then put together plans and work towards this.
